Expected availability is 31st April 2011:
Dell store indicates that the shipping date for the Intel® Core™ i5-2520M (2.50GHz, 3M cache) with Turbo BoostTechnology 2.0 with 250GB/2GB is: Preliminary Ship Date: Expected to ship from 4/15/2011 edit: this date slipped from 15th to 21st April and item has now been removed from the catalogue now down as being available from 31st April
It's interesting as one thing that was putting me off was the handle on it and that is optional and costs an extra 50 dollars...
Another point some specialist sites had got the memory specs wrong providing incorrect data on the max being 4GB. The specifications on the Dell store indicate that there are 2 slots that can each take up to 4GB meaning that the maximum memory like with the Dell E6410 ATG is also 8GB of memory maximum.
The notebooks site got this correct with a full set of specifications here.

Hoping it will be available soon in Europe... 🙂

I question the reliability and accuracy of Generative AI (GenAI) in enterprise scenarios, particularly when faced with adversarial questions, highlighting that current Large Language Models (LLMs) may be data-rich but lack in reasoning and causality. I would call for a more balanced approach to AI adoption in cases of assisting users, requiring supervision, and the need for better LLM models that can be trusted, learn, and reason.
I discuss my experience with chatbots, contrasting older rules-based systems with newer GenAI (General Artificial Intelligence) chatbots. We cannot dismiss the creative capabilities of GenAI-based chatbots, but these systems lack reliability, especially in customer-facing applications, and improvements in the way AI is structured could lead to a "software renaissance," potentially reducing society's technical debt.
The article discusses the contrasting debate on how AI safety is and should be managed, its impact on technical debt, and its societal implications.
It notes the Center for AI Safety's call for a worldwide focus on the risks of AI, and Meredith Whittaker's criticism that such warnings preserve the status quo, strengthening tech giants' dominance. The piece also highlights AI's potential to decrease societal and technical debt by making software production cheaper, simpler, and resulting in far more innovation. It provides examples of cost-effective open-source models that perform well and emphasizes the rapid pace of AI innovation. Last, the article emphasises the need for adaptive legislation to match the pace of AI innovation, empowering suitable government entities for oversight, defining appropriate scopes for legislation and regulation, addressing ethical issues and biases in AI, and promoting public engagement in AI regulatory decisions.

Hey nice catch. I was wondering when the price and availability for the new one was coming out. I wan't sure about getting the e6410 as I didn't know when Dell would be. At least I know now so I think I'll wait 🙂
Agree about the handle can't see myself using that one
Great was wondering how much this would set me back...
